The Hitman's Bodyguard

 

 

Four years after they both rendered their voices in the 2013 animated film “Turbo”, Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson finally got the chance to work more closely together in the live action-comedy film, “The Hitman’s Bodyguard”.   

 

Reynolds plays Michael Bryce, a Triple A-rated executive protection agent, while Jackson plays Darius Kincaid, one of the world’s most notorious hitman newly captured by the Interpol.   For the love of his wife Sonia (Salma Hayek), who is also detained in jail, Kincaid agrees to be a star witness against the bloodthirsty tyrant Vladislav Dukhovich (Gary Oldman) in the International Criminal Court in exchange for Sonia’s freedom.   But while Kincaid is being transported, his transport convoy is attacked by Dukhovich’s men.  Interpol Agent Amelia Roussel (Elodie Yung) still manages to save Kincaid and turns him over to Bryce for protection.  Within 24 hours, the two men must reach the trial court in The Hague.  Though they can’t hide their contempt for each other, they must learn to unite against countless enemies coming at them from every angle.

 

“The Hitman’s Bodyguard” opens in cinemas on August 23, 207.  From VIVA International Pictures and MVP Entertainment.
